He saw his hands torn and bleeding, and blood covering his face and breast. A low groan was all that escaped from the sufferer. "Leave me," he gasped. "Save Bice." In his grief for Langhetti, thus lying before him in such agony, Despard forgot all else. He seized his handkerchief and tried to stanch the blood. "Leave me!" gasped Langhetti again. "Bice will be lost."
"Oh," said Bice, with a deep-drawn breath, "here is some one else coming who does not dance very well! Talk to him about the Greek, and Lord Montjoie will take me. To-morrow! oh yes, with pleasure," she said as she took Montjoie's arm and darted away into the crowd. Montjoie was all glowing and radiant with pride and joy. "I thought I'd hang off and on and take my chance, don't you know?
Only in the depth and mystery of human experience could such a wonderful juxtaposition be. "Mr. Derwentwater," she said, trembling a little, "I cannot understand you. Go away, oh, go away!" "Bice!" "Go away, oh, go away! I am not able to bear it; no one is ever so serious. I am not great enough, nor old enough.
"No! there are things in my life that I would not have raked up; but since I have known her, nothing; there is no offence to her in any record of my life " Bice looked at him still unfaltering.
